Without waiting for Su Qingmo to answer, Pei Lin then questioned: "Just because there is a corpse Gu on the corpse, it doesn't mean that someone is using the Nine Yin to revive the soul. ”

Su Qingmo naturally knew this that the Nine Yin Soul Restoration was the most evil trick, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know it, but after thinking of the previous death toll and what happened at the scene of the crime, she said firmly: "Not only because of the corpse Gu, but also because of the very important basis, this morning at the scene of the crime, I was about to burn all the Gu worms born on the corpse, who knew that at the same time as the Gu worms were burning, the mother Gu actually let out a woman's wail." ”

Her words made Pei Lin conclude that something was indeed wrong, and he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any corpse left of the Gu worm?" ”

Mu Yuanjing instructed the guards outside the door to bring in the copper basin used to burn insect corpses in the warm jade building, but fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time at that time, and there were still many insect corpses left in the copper basin.

Pei Lin picked up a wooden stick casually, flicked the insect corpse in the copper basin, and turned out an insect corpse that was twice as large as other corpse Gu from it, and said to Su Qingmo: "This should be the mother Gu." ”

He took out a small piece of incense from his sleeve and explained to Mu Yuanjing and Fang Mubei: "This incense is called no incense, if you want to know if the murderer is a person who refines the soul of the Nine Yin, you have to look at it." ”

After finishing speaking, he lit the incense in his hand, the smell of the incense after burning was just the opposite of its name, it was very pungent, but it was not to the extent that it was unacceptable, Pei Lin approached the incense to the mother Gu, circled around its corpse a few times, and the cigarette seemed to be guided, and began to drill into the body of the mother Gu.

Suddenly, the dead female Gu moved, and then the worm's feet moved, and it didn't take long for it to come back to life.

After informing Lin Ning, Wei Xu walked in from the outside just when he saw the mother Gu turning over and lying on the ground, he glanced at the copper basin containing the insect corpse next to him, and asked Pei Lin, "What is this doing?" ”

Pei Lin ignored him, the movements in his hands did not stop, but his eyes were looking at the female Gu crawling slowly on the ground without moving, just when Wuxiang was about to burn out, the female Gu stopped, and then turned into a puddle of black water at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by a woman's wail.

The voice was so harsh that even the guards guarding outside looked back in shock.

Mu Yuanjing asked, "Is there a result?" ”

Pei Lin sighed, his voice was low, "Qingmo's guess is correct, it is indeed the Nine Yin Resurrection." ”

Fang Mubei next to him was confused, "What is the Nine Yin Resurrection?" ”

Su Qingmo explained: "Nine Yin Soul Restoration is a kind of trickery, literally, it is to use the souls of nine people to bring a dead person back to life. ”

Her words were beyond Fang Mubei's cognition, and he said with some difficulty: "Resurrect the dead? ”

Su Qingmo shook his head, "To be exact, it's not to resurrect the dead, because the soul of the resurrected person can't return to the original body, she can only pour the soul into the body of another living person by borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, and from then on, she will live in the world as that person." ”

Now Mu Bei understands, that is, the murderer has someone who wants to be resurrected, but before resurrecting that person, the souls of the other nine people must be gathered, and after they are done, the murderer will put the soul of the person who wants to be resurrected into the body of another living person.

He counted the number of dead from the first case to the present, and suddenly said, "There is still one person missing!" ”

Su Qingmo knew what Fang Mubei meant, she walked to the wooden coffin of the first deceased, and affirmed: "The person who killed the first deceased is not the one who wants to return the soul of Jiuyin later, this is what I just said, the murderer is not the same person, so if you want to succeed in returning the soul of Jiuyin, the murderer still needs the souls of two people." ”

Mu Yuanjing frowned and asked, "How can you confirm that the murderers are two people?" ”

Su Qingmo said the information he had seen from the dossier before, combined with his own inferences.

"Starting from the second deceased to the eighth deceased Rue found this morning, they all have two things in common, the first point is that the cause of death of the seven people was beheaded. The second point is that the corpses after death have been eaten up by the corpse Gu. ”

She glanced at the coffin beside her, "And the first deceased, according to the autopsy sheet, died of blood loss from a sword wound in the abdomen. ”

Fang Mubei nodded and echoed: "What the princess said is not wrong, although the head of the first deceased is also missing, it was cut off after death. ”

Su Qingmo took off a pair of gloves that Fang Mubei wore during the autopsy from the wooden frame against the wall of the morgue, and after putting them on, she raised the hands of the first deceased to show everyone present.

"Her body was only slightly decomposed, which proved that the deceased had not been affected by the corpse Gu before she died, and the other thing was that all ten of her fingers had small holes in the needles."

"What does this mean?"

Su Qingmo looked at Wei Xu and said, "It means that the soul of the deceased has been taken away, but the way to take it away is not to use the corpse Gu." ”

Pei Lin then added: "There is an ordinary method of retrieving souls with the least damage to the corpse, which is to use the locust wood stick to pierce the ten fingers, then use the soul attraction talisman to raise the soul, and finally use the soul lock talisman to temporarily lock the soul into the artifact, ordinary utensils will not be like the soul jade in Qingmo's hand, it has the effect of warmth, so the Nine Yin Soul Restoration can not only help the murderer to borrow the corpse to return the soul, but also nourish the soul." ”

Mu Yuanjing said loudly: "You already know who the murderer wants to resurrect. ”

Pei Lin nodded, looking at the headless female corpse beside Su Qingmo.

Obviously, you can use the corpse Gu, but the murderer used the least painful method to take away the soul of the deceased, and the soul drawing charm soul extraction has a huge loss of the caster's strength, but on the contrary, the soul taken out can retain the memory of the previous life, why would the murderer want a soul with a memory, the reason is about to come out.

That is, this soul with memories is the person the murderer wants to resurrect.

Wei Xu and Fang Mubei's faces were a little surprised.

Su Qingmo thought for a while and said, "The people killed by the murderer are all Oiran, but in fact, it is just a coincidence. ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at her and asked silently, Su Qingmo continued: "The soul needed for the resurrection of the soul of Jiuyin must be taken out from the place where the person who was resurrected must be taken out, not long ago I asked the people in the Nuan Yu Building, and confirmed that the room where the body was found this morning has always been a room dedicated to the Oiran of the Nuan Yu Building, that is to say, the targets of the murderer's murder are not necessarily all Oiran, but it just so happens that no one can live in that room except for the Oiran of the Nuan Yu Building." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xu asked, "In that case, how can we find out these two murderers?" ”

Mu Yuanjing's fingers in his sleeve rubbed and pointed out the direction to several people.

"Find the person who wants to return the soul of Jiuyin first, and after finding the person, you will naturally be able to ask clues about the murderer of the first deceased."

That being said, there is still no clue as to how to do that.

Pei Lin's gaze swept over the copper basin on the ground, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "We can use these dead corpse Gus. ”

The crowd looked at him and waited for what was going on.

Pei Lin picked up the copper basin and looked at Su Qingmo: "Does Qingmo know the method of extracting the remnant soul?" ”

When the two of them studied under the Pure Sky Daoist, Pei Lin learned more practical techniques to subdue ghosts and catch ghosts, while Su Qingmo could only see some ancient spells and secret spells because of his frailty, and some of the tricks of exorcism were still stolen from Pei Lin's body.

After Pei Lin's words were finished, Su Qingmo fell into deep thought, trying to remember whether there were any techniques that met the requirements in the books she had read before, and after a while, she really remembered it.

"Yes," her eyes lit up, "take the branches of the hundred-year-old locust tree and set it on fire in a closed house, this will lure the remnant soul out of the corpse Gu, and then use the soul jade to repair the remnant soul." ”

This method sounds difficult and simple, the difficulty is that the hundred-year-old locust tree is not easy to find, and the world knows that the locust tree raises shade, so there are very few people who plant it, and the simple thing is that the sealed room and soul jade are ready-made.

For things that were difficult for Su Qingmo to solve, Mu Yuanjing didn't think it was difficult to deal with.

After he asked what specific requirements he had for the locust branches, he instructed the hidden guards outside to quickly find them and send them to the palace, and after the hidden guards were ordered to leave, Pei Lin took the copper basin containing the insect corpses, and the group left the hidden world and returned to the palace.

Wei Xu held an axe in his hand, cut off the locust branches, and disposed of them to a regular length, and then lit them with the candlesticks erected in the corners of the secret room.

Su Qingmo stopped in time: "Wait a minute." ”

Wei Xu stopped his movements and only heard Su Qingmo say: "You can't use ordinary fire, you have to use this." ”

She took out the sting fire from her sleeve, pulled off the lid and blew it twice, and then ignited it and approached the locust branch, which was not easy to ignite without combustion, and the strange thing was that the locust branch on the ground burned the moment it touched the stinging fire.

The flame of the locust branch ignited by the sting fire was obviously dark green, and then billowing smoke came out, and the smoke was trapped in the sealed secret room and could not be discharged, and after a while, the whole secret room was filled with smoke, quite a dreamlike feeling.

The copper basin containing the corpse Gu was placed in the middle of the secret room by Pei Lin, and several people saw that with the increase in smoke, the insect corpses of the corpse Gu began to change, and they all turned into the same black water as the mother Gu, and then black smoke floated out, and those smoke slowly gathered together, turning into a figure, vaguely the figure of a woman.

Su Qingmo quickly took out the crimson soul jade, An Lan and Ning Xi appeared from the soul jade, and the two of them did not delay much, grabbing the black mist that had already formed and re-entering the soul jade.

Everything happened in an instant, and after Su Qingmo put away the soul jade, Wei Xu came back to his senses, hurriedly extinguished the fire on the branch of the locust tree, and several people left the secret room and returned to the study.

Su Qingmo's soul jade was placed on the bookcase, and she said to Mu Yuanjing: "After two hours, Ruxiang's soul will re-condense into an entity, but some of the corpse Gu was burned to ashes in the Nuan Yu Building before, so Rue Xiang probably can't remember much about what happened before she was killed." ”

Pei Lin said on the side: "We need to go to the Nuan Yulou tonight, Ruxiang's room." ”

Su Qingmo looked at him, not knowing what he meant.

Pei Lin said helplessly: "Have you forgotten that Ruxiang's soul can't leave the place where it was killed." ”

Hearing what he said, Su Qingmo suddenly realized, but Wei Xu asked, "If Rue Xiang can't leave, why can't An Lan and Ning Xi?" ”

Wei Xu's words made Pei Lin notice something he hadn't cared about before, he frowned, and said what he guessed in his heart, "Are you raising their souls?" ”

Su Qingmo avoided his gaze and did not make a sound.

Mu Yuanjing asked softly, "Will it have an impact on Qingmo's body?" ”

Su Qingmo told Mu Yuanjing about raising the ghosts of An Lan and Ning Xi, and Mu Yuanjing always thought that this move was harmless, so he didn't ask about it, and now when he heard Pei Lin's words, it seemed that there was some hidden danger in it.

Pei Lin looked at Mu Yuanjing, with a look of disapproval on his face, "It's harmless physically, it's just that Qingmo's behavior is similar to raising ghosts, if An Lan and Ning Xi are honest, it's okay to say, once the two of them have bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Mu Yuanjing's face became serious after Pei Lin's words were finished, and just as he was about to speak, two wisps of green smoke floated out of the soul jade on the table.

An Lan and Ning Xi, who suddenly appeared in the study, made Mu Yuanjing and Pei Lin fall silent.

An Lan glanced at Su Qingmo and took the lead in speaking, "Brother Ning Xi and I won't harm Qingmo, she gave the two of us the opportunity to be together, and we won't take revenge." ”

Pei Lin did not let go and said: "If there is no guarantee, how can I dare to believe it." ”

An Lan looked at Ning Xi, and after the other party nodded, he said, "We can make an oath." ”

The so-called yin oath is like a blood oath, the difference is that if the blood oath is not observed, at most the conscience will not pass, and it will be condemned in reason, and after the yin oath is made, it is equivalent to branding the ghost, once there is a day when the oath is violated, the ghost will immediately scatter and will not be able to live forever.

An Lan and Ning Xi didn't wait for Su Qingmo to stop it, they made an extremely strict oath, and Pei Lin didn't want to force the two of them to such a point, but for him, it was Su Qingmo who was more important.

Su Qingmo didn't blame Pei Lin for being troublesome, she knew that his starting point was for her good.

After this little episode, time flickered into the night.

On the dark street, three horses galloped past, Mu Yuanjing took Su Qingmo with him, followed by Pei Lin and Wei Xu, and the four of them rushed all the way to Nuan Yulou.

There are more than a dozen green buildings of all sizes around the location of Nuan Yulou, and before the curfew, although there are not many pedestrians on the road, the street near the green building is still full of people.

After the eighth deceased, Rue Xiang, was killed, Mu Yuanjing ordered the temporary ban of Nuan Yulou, even without his order, Nuan Yulou's bustard mother was taken away by the Yin Shiya, and Nuan Yulou could not operate normally.

The group walked into Ruexiang's room, and through the moonlight, it could be seen that the furnishings in the room had not changed.

Wei Xu deliberately paid attention to it and said to Mu Yuanjing: "Lord Wang, no one should have come in." ”

Mu Yuanjing nodded, there are hidden guards who are secretly monitoring day and night, and it may be difficult to get a fly in the house.

Su Qingmo took out the soul jade and released the ghost of Ruxiang.

Ruexiang's soul had been badly damaged before, so even though it had been repaired by the soul jade, her ghost still had a blank look on her face, and she first looked around the room, and then began to wander around the room.

Su Qingmo noticed that Ruxiang's eyes were always empty and unfocused.

She looked at Pei Lin and whispered, "Ruxiang's soul is just afraid that it won't last long before it will be gone." ”

As soon as Su Qingmo's words fell, Rue Xiang suddenly squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and began to scream loudly, Su Qingmo had been standing on the side of the bed, and was about to raise her legs to step forward, but found that she couldn't move half a minute under her feet, she looked down and saw a slender and pale hand holding her ankle tightly.

Then there was a laugh from under the bed.
